A friend of mine got me thinking about what we used to call some of the aircraft we were associated with in the AF. Please add to the list.

Of course the A10A Thunderbolt II is the Warthog.

F-105 Thunderchief - Thud

F-104 Starfighter - Widowmaker

F-111 - Aardvark

B-52 Stratofortress - BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fu Fellow)

F-16 Fighting Falcon - Lawn Dart

0-2 Skymaster - Pushme Pullyou


Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Right up until it kills you.
